Halloween Card ... (10-2011)

This is the 4" x 6" Halloween Card and Envelope I made this year for my grandkids and friends...and all from the scraps I had left over from my Halloween Mini-Album!!

It is a basic gate fold card with a panel on the front and a peek-a-boo inside center... however this one has an apeture inside the circle that opens and closes with the card....

Happy Halloween all you Ghouls and Gals!!

The Products are all listed with my Halloween Mini Album - 2011

Thinking of You... (10-2011).

I had seen a really pretty pinwheel flower recently and thought I might like to try my hand in making one..The flower was designed from a 4" square and because of the finished size I placed it on a 5" x 7" card..

Combined with BasicGrey's Lemonade Paper..and flower border punch from Martha Stewart...I think the result is so very vintage and feminine...

Halloween Mini 2011...

Here is a Paper Bag Album... without the Paper Bags!! hee hee

I have been wanting to make an album that could hold enough photos to emcompass the many years we dress our kids up for Halloween.... and this album does it!!

There is room in here for approximately 110 photos and all are a good size..

One bit of good news is that this completed album probably only cost me about $5.00 to create..

I will be making a Christmas album with this design..and at that time I will have a pattern and a picture tutorial that I will make available to you...

So stay tuned!!

Nonna Irene's Mini..

This is still one of my favorite minis...it is SO cute, easy and always a delight to give someone..
Whether it's vintage, retro or just simple like this one... to me, the secret is to keep it uncluttered....

Below is a short video of the whole album..

*I used my new Marvy Uchida Button Punch to decorate the inserts..
*The cheerful papers have been in my stash forever... and I painted the rolls white and sealed it with ModPodge..
*The endcaps ( the tutorial is available on the right hand side ) gives me so much more space for an already small album...

Have fun!!
